Share → Engram
Send anything to Engram from your gallery, browser, YouTube or files. Add a line about why if you like, or don't. It's saved in two taps and you're back in the app you came from.

Save it.
Find it right
when you need it.
Screenshots, photos, links, PDFs and notes… Engram reads them and remembers where and when they were. You just search in your own words: “that restaurant I went to in Ankara last year”.
Sound familiar?
Saving is easy. Finding it again isn't.
You take a screenshot of a menu, a product, an address. “I'll look at it later,” you say. Months later, when that “later” comes, what you need is lost among thousands of photos.
Your gallery doesn't know what a photo says.
The links you saved are scattered across five different apps.
Worst of all, you've long forgotten why you saved it.
How it works
Three steps. Engram does the rest.
No new habits needed. You already use the share menu.

Engram understands
On your phone, without needing the internet: it reads the text in a photo, works out the city and date it was taken, and recognises what's in the image. All of it goes into your encrypted vault.
- Reads text
- Knows the place
- Knows the time
- Recognises images

Find it in your own words
No need to remember file names or folders. Type it the way it comes to mind. Engram understands dates and places and shows results with their source.
- “last summer”
- “in Ankara”
- “with … on the menu”
Not like searching. Like remembering.
Type what's on your mind.
Engram puts the rest together.
Every save leaves several traces: text, place, time, image and your reason for saving it. When you search, these traces come together.

Features
Small, calm and very capable.
No sparkles, counters or red notification dots on Engram's screens. Just your saves and the shortest way to find them.
Reads the text in photos
Signs, menus, receipts, screenshots… every word in them becomes searchable. Turkish, English, German, French and Russian.
Remembers the place
Turns a photo's location into a city and district name. Entirely on the phone, with an offline map.
Understands time
“yesterday”, “last summer”, “geçen ay”, “letzten Sommer”… Date phrases become filters you can edit.
Recognises images
Find a photo without a single word on it by what it shows: “food”, “sea”, “car”. The model runs on your phone.
“Why did you save it?”
A one-line note becomes the strongest search clue months later. If you'd rather not write one, that's fine; it's optional.
Reminds you on time
“Remind me about this in two weeks.” The notification arrives on time and never shows your save's content on the lock screen.
PDFs and multi-file saves
Documents open inside the app. Photos you share together stay neatly in one save.
You once saved this
Forgotten saves now and then return to your home screen on a quiet card. Don't want it? Turn it off with one tap.
Full power, even offline
Saving, reading, working out places and dates, recognising images and searching all work even in airplane mode. Engram's brain is inside your phone.
Your data is always yours
Export all your saves to a single password-protected, encrypted file and restore it whenever you want. Exporting is always free.
Text recognition
A photo is read once and searchable forever.
The moment you save it, Engram reads the text in the image on your phone and adds it to your vault. The recognised text shows in the save's details, so you always know what was found.
- Two separate on-device engines: one for Latin-script languages, one for Cyrillic (Russian)
- Search that understands Turkish suffixes: typing “restoranları” still finds “restoran”
- Tolerant of typos and half-typed words
Place and time
It remembers where and when, so you don't have to.
Where and when a photo was taken is kept apart from when you saved it. The location is turned into a city and district name with offline map data on your phone and is sent nowhere.
- Place names in five languages: Ankara, Анкара
- Doesn't mistake searches like “world map” or “iPhone 15” for dates
- Filters show as chips; remove them with one tap
Save reason
A save means more with its reason.
“To come back with Mum.” “To look at on summer holiday.” The one line you write when saving is the most personal and strongest search clue. Engram puts it at the heart of the save.
Privacy
Your saves stay on your phone.
Encrypted.
Your memory is nobody else's business. You don't create an account to use Engram; your saves, recognised text and photos are not sent to our servers.
Encrypted vault
The database and files are encrypted on your phone. The key is protected by your phone's secure hardware store.
Fingerprint lock
Turn on the vault lock and Engram locks itself after a short time in the background.
Out of sight
Previews are hidden in the recent-apps screen, and in-app screenshots are blocked.
No account
No email, phone number or sign-in. You open the app and use it.
Delete with one tap
Delete a save, the trash, or everything with “Delete all my data”, for good, including search indexes and everything derived.
No ads, no selling
We don't show ads with your data or sell it to anyone. Our income comes from the optional Engram Plus.
To be honest: two Google components Engram uses (ML Kit for text recognition and Google Play Billing for purchases) may send Google technical diagnostics without content, such as the device model, Android version, language, durations and error codes. Your saves, recognised text and photos are not part of it. Details are in the privacy policy.
Five languages
It remembers in your language.
The interface, date phrases, place names and text recognition work in five languages. You can choose the app language independently of your phone.

Questions
Frequently asked
Where are my saves stored?
Only on your phone, in an encrypted vault. Engram doesn't send your saves, recognised text or photos to our servers. For a backup, you create an encrypted export file and decide where to keep it.
What if I lose or change my phone?
Because your saves are only on your phone, we recommend exporting regularly. On the new phone, open your password-protected export with “Restore from an export”. With Engram Plus this backup is made automatically and encrypted to a folder you choose (for example Google Drive).
Do I need an internet connection?
No. Saving, reading text, working out places and dates, and searching work fully offline. The image model that recognises photos without text is downloaded once, only with your consent and over Wi-Fi, from our server (sunizeka.org).
Is my photos' location sent anywhere?
No. To read the location we ask for Android's “photo location” permission. The coordinates are turned into a city and district name with the offline map data inside the app and never leave your phone.
Which languages are supported?
Turkish, English, German, French and Russian. The interface, date phrases, place names and reading text in photos work in these five languages.
Which phones does it run on? Is there an iPhone version?
Engram runs on phones with Android 10 or later and a 64-bit processor. We are working on an iPhone version.
Is it free?
Yes. Saving, searching, searching by image, exporting and deleting are always free. Engram Plus offers optional extras such as automatic backup, unlimited reminders and richer views.
How do I delete all my data?
Settings → “Delete all my data”. Saves, files, recognised text, reminders, settings and keys are deleted from your phone for good. Export first; this cannot be undone.
